• Currently "perform task" from JavaScript is asynchronous only and task results are unavailable. It would be good to the option of having a synchronous version which returns results as an additional option. Sure, it's not included now for a reason. But it would be good to have the option even if it would just fail when you e.g. run a task with another JavaScript action in it.
• Currently plugins are not usable. I can see this being basically impossible to address from within JS directly, so perhaps the first point is the best solution here.
• Update JS library to include

I want to play a random song from a folder when I shake my phone and it usually works but sometimes it just doesn't play a song. I turned off random to see if it always happens at the same place and it happens after all the other songs have been played once.

I have the following task that is executed to open the contact card for a specified contact. A1: Test Phone [ Type:Contact Thumb URI Data:%acnumber Store Result In:%cid ]  A2: Variable Search Replace [ Variable:%cid Search:/photo Ignore Case:Off Multi-Line:Off One Match Only:Off Store Matches In: Replace Matches:On Replace With: ]  A3: Send Intent [ Action:android.intent.action.VIEW Cat:None Mime Type: Data:%cid Extra: Extra: Extra: Package: Class: Target:Activity ]  However, this only works if the contact has a photo associated with it. If no "Contact Thumb URI" exists for a given contact (i.e. there is no photo associated with the contact), then the "Test

Hi!

Just purchased Tasker and really like the possibilities. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S9+ and want to rotate and change display brightness when launching a defined app. But no actions is executed. Also used the ADB Tool (Galaxy S9+ Developer Settings activated, USB Debugging enabled) to send the command to activate android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS like recomended in the guidelines. Still no success. Simple Tasks (like Beep, Pop-Up) work perfectly. Also activated logging - don't see any Errors there.  

What am i missing?

An option in the settings to Enable/Disable Project-Only Elements.

The idea is that when this option is turned on, while in the menu for selecting the required Variable/Scene/Task, only the ones in the current project will be shown rather than showing all the Variable/Scenes/Tasks available in the whole.

This would come very handy for people with large number of projects so that they don't have to search within a large number of other Vars/Scenes/Tasks to select the one they desire.

I have several groups of tasks that work together I would like to be able to select them as a group and have that group collapsible for easier management of tasks and make for a cleaner default task screen.

Additionally it might be nice to be able to turn on or off all grouped tasks rather than having to use several on and off tasks.

Ex.

Screen orientation is portrait but able to put the text in a scene in landscape

I think sometimes the Search Action throws people off who don't know regular expressions. And sometimes even if you know regex - you want a straight/literal/exact Search/Replace.

There should be a checkbox in the Search Action to use or not use Regex for the Search.

As an additional example - "AutoTools > Text > Replacements" has this kind of checkbox to enable Regex. 

There is already a file browser inside tasker for setting variables. We should be able to use the same page as an action. More so now that file magic is no longer on the play store.

Currently, the number of conditions is limited to for. Four. I would like to be able to specify more conditions.

(I know there's a workaround by convincin several conditions into one but sometimes there's just no good name that can be used for the wrapping condition and it just pollutes the namespace).

The variables %PACTIVE and %PENABLED do not contain Profile names that have been assigned by Tasker, regardless of if they are active or enabled. Those variables will only contain the names of user-named Profiles. Also the expected function of %PACTIVE and %PENABLED is to get all Profiles that are enabled or active. 

Also some of the names that Tasker uses for auto-naming look like they were named by a user, which can cause problems later on, if an user thinks the profile was named by him.

Love Tasker, been using it for over 7 years now across 5 phones.   My current phone is a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5, SM-G900V.  I have a Tasker profile that is designed to inform me when the battery is at 100% and is being charged by "Any" means.  The SM-G900V does not have native wireless charging capabilities.  I purchased and installed a 3rd party wireless charging add-on device for my SM-G900V.  When charging wirelessly, the Tasker state of charging "Any" for my SM-G900V doesn't recognize wireless as a trigger.  I created another profile of charging "Wireless[ly]" with the battery at 100%

Having the possibility to do file operations (e. g. Test File, List Files, Copy, Rename File, Create Folder) on SMB shared folders would make many tasks like syncing some files to a local NAS or a share on the PC much easier.

At least on some devices the action "Play Ringtone" does not stop playing the ringtone until Tasker is disabled or quit.

The action "Play Music" is not always a good alternative because it changes %MTRACK which can be used to trigger music playing causing unwanted profiles to become active.

So an action to stop the ringtone playing would be necessary or the ringtone should stop playing by itself after one loop or a configurable time.

There's a bunch of us who would like more direct integration between Tasker and Torque, an app that pulls data from an automobile's diagnostics port. At this time we only have a "hack," where Tasker reads the Torque logfile. This is very inefficient and introduces substantial delay into the data stream. For example, I use it to adjust the media volume on my phone based upon the speed of the vehicle (i.e. "dynamic volume), but the delay is several seconds and is very noticeable. A more direct data stream would eliminate such a delay and remove the inefficiencies of the

My suggestion is to add a feature that lets the user perform basic FTP Upload and Download operations that support Tasker tasks and also kid apps created through Tasker App Factory.

It could have the following Parameters:-

Mode(Dropdown box): Upload/Download options.

Host:

Username:

Password:

Source File:

Destination Directory:

Timeout:

ASCI Mode/Binary Mode (Check Box)

Local Passive/Extended Passive Mode (Checkbox)

Notify My Android was discontinued😐

Please add a different provider to allow communication to android via web url similar to how Notify My Android. 

Please allow 4, 5, or unlimited contexts in a profile to avoid the need for hacky workarounds.

Hi

in Scene Layout we can replace Pictures (Scene>>Object Picture).

In my Scene´s i replace many Material Design Icons with the same, but in a other Color.

e.g. "car.picture" in white, replace with "car.picture" in green.

The Problem:  When i would replace it live in the active scene with a button, it dont change the Object Picture, because the Filename dont change, only it´s Color.
